ACT 2011 Pro Defining Fields

I have four Objective fileds on my contact screen and currently these fields are set to 50 characters and I'm wanting to increase this amount, but I keep getting this message and I just don't understand what it's asking me to do.

first you would always be best to do a backup before starting customization.  But this message really doesn't apply if you are just increasing the length of an existing field.

The software won't let me increase the field length unless I link to the company or contact filed. Trouble with linking is it won't let me link either, tells me those fields are linked to another field.
